    Apparently I look military even on holidays because as we were visiting the tank museum in bovington there were a large amount of recruits there for the day.
    The instructors shouted at me to hurry up and get on the bus at the end of the day as they must have thought I was one of theirs :rolleyes:
    the faces on them when they realised their mistake :D. Herself would have sent me off with them given half the chance I'm told :eek:

    Lovely weather here for spreading the last of the slurry. Funny the way when you are at it yourself you can't smell it at all. I think the hydrogen sulphide de-sensitises our sense of smell after pro-longed exposure.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Was in the dungstead today piling it high as we won't have ground grazed to spread before deadline

    Anyway neighbour who has a serious case of heavy metal disease arrived in and was horrified at the stare of the loader.

    Local dairy farmer arrived into the co op a few years ago with his one ton vicon and the wager still wagging. Forgot to turn off the pto just headed back to town for more when it was empty.

    Filling the size of my fist fell out of my tooth yesterday morning, no pain mind you but fair play to my dentist he squeezed me in without appointment and shovelled another filling in - said tooth was on the way out - 1900 euro for an implant :mad:

    You must have a big mouth -;)

    Knocked 10 acres of grass today. It was just too strong to leave cattle into . probably only get 40 bales. There is a nice wind to wilt it. Will give it a run of the swarthwilter about noon tomorrow and bale up around 3 O'clock

    Its bone dry and as good a quality that you'll get this time of year so it shold make good stuff. We definitely don't need any more silage but if it's there it won't be wasted.

    Waste not want not my man, FIL didn't want anymore silage either but convinced him it would be better to be looking at 40 bales than looking for. Last year is still too fresh
